The celebrity world said goodbye to an American pop culture and sex icon on Friday (September 28).

On social media, stars from all corners of the industry honored the late Hugh Hefner, the iconic Playboy founder who passed away of natural causes Wednesday (September 27) at the age of 91.

A clearly shaken Pamela Anderson posted a moving video on Instagram, while other women who posed for Playboy, like Kim Kardashian, also saluted him.
